Hello sharks —

I'm here to claim that the Chacarero Chileno is an unsung hero of the Serious Eats repertoire, and I think YOU should try it.

Reasons: It's delicious — confusingly so, given that slightly overcooked green beans are a primary ingredient. It's easy — boil some beans (just use frozen french-cut), grill or pan-fry some meat. It doesn't require the oven — great for keeping the temp low in the summer. It's cheap — so far my favorite cut of meat in this is flap, which is pretty affordable. It's flexible — you can really customize it to your own taste (second time around I added a schmear of chipotles in adobo and replaced the fresh chilis with pickled).

I love eating sandwiches all summer, and this is a permanent part of my rotation. Hope you enjoy!

    When I lived in Boston they had a lunch spot called Chacarero I got these at.. this sandwich is truly more than the sum of its parts and agreed with OP it’s a must try

    Green beans on a sandwich is wild but it sounds so good.
